About Danielle

Danielle Montano is a counsellor with ten years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS accreditation. Danielle takes a humanistic, person-focused route and aims to help people better understand their choices and next steps.

She listens for each person's unique view of the world and how that shapes actions. Sessions are aimed at helping people make clearer decisions that fit their values. Danielle emphasises respect for autonomy and supports clients to build on their own strengths.

Danielle combines practical talking therapy with ideas drawn from psychology and mindfulness. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches. These methods are used to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image problems, addictions, depression and bipolar mood concerns.

Her work also covers areas like ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, grief, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. Danielle helps people manage change, set personal boundaries and work through relationship pain without prescribing one fixed route.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and decisions about relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current patterns of relating and emotional reactions, which can help with intimacy and trust-related issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering non-judgemental listening and reflection so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is often part of early sessions. Danielle will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches as goals become clearer.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also gives people a way to work with a therapist in another location, which can be useful for those living abroad or who need greater scheduling flexibility.
